Voyo V1 Mini PC – Now comes with Intel Atom Apollo Lake Chipset

The Voyo V1 Mini PC is the latest low powered Mini PC to offer the new Intel Atom Apollo Lake Chipset. The successor to the Braswell chip and boasts improvements in terms of performance, efficiency and battery life.

Intel Atom Apollo Lake is the latest Entry level chipset mainly used for low powered systems such as a Mini PC. It is also used on many AIO (All in One PC’s). The chipset is the successor to Braswell Chip and is based on Goldmont Architecture. It boasts several improvements, most of which is based on codecs or formats supported. Natively it supports H.264 VC-1, WMV9, HEVC, and VP9.

Is it also available on Tablets?

Reading on some articles, I believe not, but I am not entirely sure. It is just that the TDP of the Chip is high and with this it needs Active Cooling rather than passive, as we saw on most Cherry Trail Powered Tablets.

What kind of improvements is expected?

Although not much is known about this new chipset, surprisingly, the clock speeds are actually a bit low. Probably to maintain a 6 TDP. More so, it is still an Atom Chip, so it not likely be a huge improvements. It also uses the same Intel HDGen9 Graphics, although the EU Cores have increased quite a bit and the clock speed has also been bumped. So more likely, you will expect a bump in gaming performance, but not by a lot.

What is interesting about the Voyo V1 Min PC?

Aside from the new Apollo Lake Chip, it still has the same hard soldered 32 GB eMMC storage and M.2 SATA SSD. Similar feature on the last Voyo V1 (BayTrail version). The memory or RAM is expandable and now supports Dual Channel, and the storage options are all expandable. Also worthy to mention is the Active Cooling, which may help with thermal issues.
